Interesting list. Thanks, Clarice. LOVE World Help. Have been so impressed with the heart of those involved, so I’m not surprised to see them on the list.

I’m amazed that Community Bible Study, an international ministry with classes throughout the United States, was not listed. It did have three stars when I went to the MinistryWatch website.

Janet, I only listed those with four stars and up. I put a link to MinistryWatch.com so you could find all the other great ministries, too. It’s a very helpful site.
